2012 Olympian lightweight Jose Ramirez has signed a multiyear promotional deal with Top Rank.

“We did it Friday morning,” Ramirez told BoxingScene.com. “I think Top Rank has always been a strong company. They’ve built a lot of top prospects. I need someone who’s going to build me right and push me hard. They’ve been around awhile and have the most experience.”

Ramirez, a 20-year-old native of Avenal, Calif., will make his pro debut Dec. 8 on the Pacquiao-Marquez IV undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“It’s awesome,” Ramirez said. “I feel very blessed to be getting that exposure to show people what I have early on. I’m being told that the highlights will be taped and shown on the pay-per-view.”

According to his agent Rick Mirigian, Ramirez’s JCR Promotions company will co-promote the shows with Top Rank.

He signed with the best promotional company as far as building fighters. And he pro debut on the undercard of pacquaio vs Marquez not a bad look even though he wont be on the televised portion but still not bad
